Project #1 Triptych Collage



I am mainly interested in how people choose or don't choose to appear, how we wish to be physically perceived, our reasons for doing so, and what we will utilize to reach our desired appearance. I'm concerned with the idea that our society does not permit people to be beautiful or sexual unless we look like a specific perfected ideal. However, this work is not meant to be an indictment against modern sexuality and beauty, nor is it meant to be a celebration. I created this triptych in an attempt to illustrate my own confused thoughts, dependencies, and physical insecurities--and perhaps to encourage the viewer to do the same.

This piece is an amalgamation of scanned magazine pages and covers, photographs appropriated from the internet, and products that I own.

  1. Yours is probably the most successful of the pieces that we went over in class on Tuesday. I really enjoy how the images are contained within the drawing in the middle part. The transparent pink really helps unify the piece without being overbearing.
